As we approach the 4th of July holiday, it's an ideal time to recognize design in America. A landscape full of natural resources is fertile ground for creative exploration. Indigenous woods, organic forms, upholstered silhouettes, and recycled materials offer endless possibilities to create functional objects that shape the future of modern design. This week at SUITE NY, we're delighted to highlight five exceptional pieces from brands based in the United States and Canada. POLLOCK TABLES Dan Pollock Dan Pollock is a woodsman turned artist who lives and works in the San Bernadino National Forest. His Pollock Tables are handmade from start to finish. When creating each table, Pollock prioritizes finding sources for wood that will not require a living tree to be cut down. In describing his creative process, he explains "My sculptures are sometimes for the sake of art and sometimes function, often both. In any case, each sculpture has its own charm and appeal." Each design is one-of-a-kind and hand-carved from reclaimed wood found in the forests of California.  ASYMMETRIC SOFA BassamFellows BassamFellows, based in Ridgefield, Connecticut, is a furniture & design house dedicated to Modernism, craftsmanship and beauty. Their Asymmetric Sofa weaves together elements to create a visual concordance of modules that can be configured into several arrangements. A sense of buoyancy is emphasized with blade-like, solid wood legs that virtually disappear, making the piece appear to float.‎  Its cushioned body is coupled with a feather and down top over three layers of foam, maximizing comfort. Available in multiple sizes and upholstery options. WOVEN RUSH BENCH Smilow Design A champion of American-made, finely crafted, modern design, Mel Smilow's work has been recognized and coveted by collectors and well-appreciated since 1949. With its commitment to simplicity, functionality, and natural materials, the Woven Rush Bench is an original mid-century design that carries the legacy of an era that valued both function and artistry in furniture. The understated beauty, fine craftsmanship, and exceptional detail is present from every angle. Made in America and made to last a lifetime. STACKABL LIGHTING Stackabl Based in Toronto and Los Angeles, Stackabl is an innovative system for designing custom lighting without the waste. Using entirely eco-friendly, sustainable materials, the Stackabl pendant reimagines the possibilities within contemporary lighting, while offering an exciting template for creating unexpected custom designs. Stackabl lighting can be configured vertically or horizontally, in an almost endless combination of sizes and colors. FLOOR PILLOWS William Storms William Storms is an artist, weaver and textile manufacturer who meticulously crafts one-of-a-kind creations in his Brooklyn-based studio, showcasing a unique commitment to quality and creativity. The custom floor pillows he has created for SUITE NY feature a gorgeous blend of tone-on-tone recycled cottons with a weft of Danish paper cord. High density foam inserts provide a comfortable and supported sit with 100% recovery, resulting in the pillows functioning more like an ottoman than floor cushion. The underside is made from brushed Italian wool while the handwoven face showcases interwoven rope motifs. Each pillow is one of a kind. Custom pieces available.
